Learning/self-improvement goals (you can pick a topic or an area of business you need to learn about every week or month. For example, learning how to use canva or build landing pages, or learning about email marketing ).

Don’t forget some basic rules of goal setting like setting measurable and realistic goals. You also want to set short-term and long-term goals.

Write your goals down and create an action plan. This will help you to stay focused and get rid of distractions.

Schedule your tasks throughout the day. Have a set time for checking and replying to emails, marketing, making phone calls, networking etc

Take short breaks. This is one of the things that really helps me to stay productive. It’s hard to keep working for hours on end. Give yourself short breaks to refresh and reset. Short breaks don’t mean binge watching Netflix…uh huh or scrolling through your social media feed for hours on end.

Unplug and disconnect from the real world. Get rid of distractions. Sometimes a girl gotta do what a girl gotta do. The real world will still be waiting for you once you complete your tasks.

Many of us have big and lofty goals for our business. Some of us are striving for world domination while others would be happy with making six figures a year.

It’s important to have big goals and long-term goals, but try not to be too ambitious or spread yourself too thin.

Running a business is hard. There’s no need to make it even harder.

While it’s a good idea to have a growth and abundance mindset, some business owners take it too far and set unrealistic goals for themselves. This can lead to stress and burnout.

Building a successful business takes time. You have to be patient and stay the course. It’s a marathon and not a sprint.

Every business goes through different stages. What you should focus on depends on the stage your business is. In this post The 4 Stages of Every Small Business, I broke down the four stages and what a business owner should focus on at each stage. Go and check it out!

A business in the startup stage should focus on different things from a business in the growth stage.

What stage is your business? Are you focusing on the right things to grow your business? Focusing on the right tasks will help you to become productive and reach your goals faster.

It’s possible to be a more productive business owner. The key is to be intentional. Identify the time sucks in your business, and focus on the important tasks and activities that will help you to grow your business faster.
